View source for Breg-shei

The '''Breg-shei''' were a [[Xenos]] species that lived on the planet [[Farinatus Maximus]]. This world was the scene of a joint campaign during the [[Great Crusade]] by the [[Raven Guard]] and [[Night Lords]].{{Fn|1}}
This campaign is called the [[Farinatus Extermination]].{{Fn|2}}

Millennia later, [[Imperial]] colonists on [[Regnan Impri]] were terrorised by Breg-shei. In response, [[Iron Hands]] pursued the Breg-shei through [[Regnan Magna]]'s rings and [[moon]]s. On [[Regnan Drey]], the Breg-shei conducted an ambush by laying in wait in cyst-nests under the regolith. {{Fn|3}}

==Overview==
The Breg-shei were described as insectoid in apparence with metal maws and long sharp stabbing appendages. They lived in something called "sanctuary-nests" and operated as a hivemind. {{Fn|1}}

The Breg-shei were noted to be fast and resilient creatures, with unknown sensory organs. They were suspected to have senses that extended to a spectrum that included battlefield [[vox]], with multiple incidents indicating an ability to intercept and understand Imperial transmissions.{{Fn|3}}

Breg-shei technology included the synaptic lash, an energy weapon that damaged the cerebra of organic creatures. On Regnan Drey, a barrage from three synaptic lashes against a [[Rhino]] caused its [[Servitor]] driver to malfunction severely enough to make it attack its Iron Hands master. {{Fn|3}}
